Of  course I guess that's why you consider giving out the MSR as somehow being "morally" wrong. I don't.  I guess we just disagree.

I have no problem with MSR listings, I just think they should list them as higher in Poser 8's case.

As for your comment, "Because I don't know anything about Vista. Let someone who knows that system argue the merits."

Well, you don't need to know anything about Vista. I've already laid out the facts, several times. Fact is, only one version of Vista has MSRs that are equal to Poser 8, but in terms of RAM only, and require a more powerful processor than the 700 MHz listed by SM. The other Vista versions have MSRs that are equal to Poser 8's recommendations, but exceed the MSR.
So I'm asking, how can they list an operating system as supported when the operating system itself has higher specs than what they call minimum in a PC for Poser?
Not saying they shouldn't list Vista as supported, not at all. Rather, they should up their MSR.

I'm really not understanding why you're giving me a hard time about this. What could it possibly hurt for them to raise their specs? There's already been at least one person who has returned the program because it didn't run well, who had a comp within those specs, but not much beyond. And I wouldn't be surprised if there have been many more.
I already told my game story, so yeah, I feel bad for someone who gets suckered in. At least SM has the decency to accept returns though, that's a plus on their side.
The only negative point I could see in them raising the specs to something more realistic is it might hurt their sales a little and..... hmmm...
...never mind, it's all clear now why it is what it is....
